Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

LMAO!!

Just becaue I'm paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not really out to get me!

Kim, it means you'll be able to get draught beer for 90p a litre (or however much petrol costs in the UK at the moment) from the pumps at your local BP forecourt.

The line-up of products on offer will be: LRP, Unleaded, Super-unleaded, Bitter-unleaded and Export. Mix Export with Coca-Cola (1.99 for two litres from the kiosk) and you can have Diesel!

So, in answer to your question: yes, and cheaper too!

Does that mean we will have a load of brewery lorries backing up the M1 when tax on beer goes up, and hippies hanging from trees demanding the brewerys research alternative drinks that get you pi$$ed using hydrogen or solar power.
Tetleys could sponsor an annual event to get tanked up on alternative beer and see how far you can crawl after 12 pints of it, and pubs everywhere can sell flowers and sunglasses.
We can have our registration numbers noted before we get served, so we don't sup up and disappear without paying, and pub toilets can be fitted with devices for emmissions tests.
Finally, every time you walk into a boozer that is not your regular, the barman can open your mouth, peer in and shake his head. Drawing his breath in sharply he can say," What rubbish you been putting in here then? Some bloody cowboy been looking after this. It's gonna cost you".
The possibilities are endless.

90p a litre ST?! When were you last over here? Is it worth me going over to Germany to fill my tank?! 99p/1 is the average here at the moment. As for serving beer at the pumps, I'm not sure.....I filled my tank with unleaded instead of diesel once so I might well get my Coke mixed up with my Export. But with all this "don't drink and drive" advice it will be nice to able able to finish my drink at the pumps before driving off. D'you think there will be a proper bar there with a runner to rest my foot as I slurp? I suppose the more trendy ones will have shiny accelerator pedals to rest feet on, with brake pedals for the ladies.

Which brewery will be carrying out the annual MOT Alan? Tetleys maybe? More Of Tetleys. Has a certain quality to it.

Great ideas, Kim and Al! Kim, you're right, it's been a very long time since I bought fuel in Britain (at least 2.5 years). It's almost worth coming over to Germany to fill your tank - if you bring back some fags as well you've just about paid for the channel crossing, I reckon. I think petrol over here costs just around 1.00 a litre, but I wouldn't swear to it as I am not a car owner (due to public transport being so good here that a city-dweller finds a car becomes far more of a liability than an asset).


The cheapest fuel I have ever seen was in South Africa in 2000 - 30p a litre! It was so cheap, people were buying bottles of whisky in Duty-Free, pouring away the whisky and filling up with unleaded and bringing it back to the UK ;O)

Although it was probably still cheaper in the US at the time . . .

treikiman, seen it before, but very good all the same ! better than paul daniels anyway :)

i hope you lot realise that you are all bonkers !!!

Back from Italy if you haven't done Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii put it on your list well worth a visit.

Mount Vesuvius you get to go right to the lip of the crater.

I want to stand where the picture was taken from.

driver, glad you had a good time in italy. if you liked pompeii you'll love this book



cracking read.

what a shit bank holiday monday. spent the whole day digging and moving about 10 millions tons of clay soil. every time it rained the soil doubled in weight. crap day.

bos
Cheers bos I was thinking of doing a bit of reading up on the whole experience now Im back home.

I prefer Up Pompeii.
OOOhhh-eeerrrrr, No Missus. Don't titter.

definately worth a read , driver. it's about an aqueduct engineer sent to pompeii to find out why the aqua augusta has stopped flowing.

Don't want to spoil the story, but its full of magma, and the engineer ends up a pork scratching.

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up every two hours?

Hows the currency trading going, Bos.
I've scratched around my office drawers and found 7 UAE Dirhams, $14USD, 46 Mexican Peso, and 3 eurocents. I was going to sell it all and buy Thailand Bhat, but when I phoned the broker he said something very unprofessional to me and slammed the phone down!!
I'll send 'em on to you, if they will help you.

alan, if it's good enough for tesco, it's good enough for me ...... every little helps :)) very nearly ready to start playing with real money instead of monopoly money. i just hope i have the same success cos i've now got tuns o' pretend money in me account.

ho hum , back to work. not that i'm dreading this week or anything, but, i've already started counting down the seconds 'til saturday.
